    I'm going to be really sarcastic and say
    VB Code:
    1. Dim strSerial As String

    2.  
    3. strSerial = InputBox("Give me a serial number", "OI!")
    Now I'm not going to be sarcastic and say what were you thinking of doing? Getting the HDD serial number, or asking for a number that follows a specific pre-defined fashion, or what?

    So you want any serial number to follow pre-defined pattern, right?

    Okay, what pattern? Like RGHT-767GR or something?

    Are you creating the installer? Or are you using a separate product such as InstallShield, WiseInstaller etc. ?
